Chiming in as an RPer; I have two main characters, one based on Aether and an alt on Crystal. My Aether character is now effectively stuck a data center away from most of my RP contacts. My Crystal alt, on the other hand, can now only visit Crystal venues, all of which will likely see major attendance hits from a significant portion of their audience being literally unable to access them.

I can only imagine how frustrating this must be for cross-DC raiders who were excited to try the savage raids today, or the folks stuck in the void because their transfers back home keep failing. I don't know the first thing about managing an MMO and I'm not going to pretend otherwise, but surely there has to be a better way to keep crowds under control than this!
